Fashion Files:: Bring Back Big Shoulders?

::Random Friday Fashion Question::

Photobucket
Photobucket

Rihanna was recently spotted looking very retro, shoulder pads + lace shirt + long nails, it all screams early 90's... Shoulder pads and the ''power suit'' for women was uber popular in the 80's and early 90's

PhotobucketPhotobucket

and lately quite a few designers have been playing with the big shoulder silhouette on the runway...
We all know that celebs have always influenced many fashion trends-[which has proved to be a good and bad thing]

Photobucket

So will the ''Power Suit/Shoulder Pad'' look make an official comeback on the scene???

Jovi's Jam:: Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg

Photobucket
They don't make em like this anymore. T-Boz, Left Eye-[R.I.P], & Chili are in the Hip Hop history books as some of the prettiest females to ever rock baggy jeans and boxers.
Every girl always picked which member they wanted to be, or attempted to perfect the signature TLC look at some point in time...and don't even get me started on when Crazy, Sexy, Cool came out, everyone wanted to know which adjective you were..[I'll take all 3..lol]
[that album went diamond btw, and they were the first female group to achieve that]

'Aint 2 Proud 2 Beg' is Jovi's Jam of the day...[I wanted to be in this vid]

Thought of the Day

"A non-doer is very often a critic-that is, someone who sits back and watches doers,
and then waxes philosophically about how the doers are doing.
It's easy to be a critic, but being a doer requires effort, risk, and change."

~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

*Update ::AMBER ALERT:: Missing Philadelphia Teen FOUND!

*UPDATE--Nikasia has been found! but her abductor is still on the loose

*I am helping to spread the word about a missing Philadelphia teenager. 100.3 The Beat has been following this story, but unfortunately it has yet to be given serious media attention. Repost this information to your blogs and sites


Photobucket
''We need your immediate help finding young Nikasia Nowell, a 13 year old who has been missing from her family for some days now. The media are dragging their feet in regards to putting the information out there

FACTS:

Ø LAST SEEN: Thursday, March 12th @ 7:30am
Ø WEARING: School uniform, light blue shirt with Navy blue pants, and a Black and White plaid jacket
Ø HEIGHT: 5’3
Ø WEIGHT: approx: 130lbs
Ø FROM: PHILADELPHIA, West Oaklane: student at Wagner Middle School
Ø ANSWERS TO: Nikki or Shanky

''There was a call given to her family from a man in his Late 20’s early 30’s saying he was going to return her. The call was traced to a Getty’s gas station at Front and Champlost . She was able to say hi and then the line was disconnected.

This is not like Nikasia, she has never ran away and has not been a problem at home nor school.

Please keep a look out for anyone that even resembles her and if you know any young people from either area, ask them have they heard or seen anything. ''

This is definitely one of my favorite songs. The beat is so serious and the energy that Pac brings on this track is crazy.

Wednesday

Red Light Special

Photobucket

I'm assuming most people have had the pleasure of experiencing some live entertainment, in the form of a Skrippa' or Exotic Dancer'. Some love them, some hate them..but no matter what they are always a source of interesting conversation.


Kanye West and his latest love interest Amber Rose live in the blog headlines, if its not for something one of them is wearing, its relating to Ms. Rose's past relationships and profession. [google a bit to catch up on whats been going on]

Photobucket

Of course
the over used ''you can't turn a hoe into a housewife'' moniker is being thrown around like a hot potatoe. I just think its interesting that females that strip are usually given the side-eye of disapproval, while men that strip are not given a 2nd thought. I won't even get into how unfair of a double standard that is when clearly men are-[and can be] just as scandalous as women...

Photobucket

I don't believe ''career choices'' should automatically measure a persons character which is why I don't judge people. I subscribe to the ''Do You'' motto by all means. But its always fun to have some good dialogue and toss around opinions.


So the question is:
'Would you involve yourself in a serious relationship with a stripper/exotic dancer'??


*and Not just sleep with or get ''a special'' from, but would a stipper or exotic dancer be someone that you seriously consider settling down with??

Its Joviiii Baby!:: Live at the Keri Hilson Event

Photobucket

Most of my days and weekends are just one big blur, I tend to find myself in the mix of a lot of the cool happenings around town. Of course this past weekend was no different. After accompanying my compadre to the Entertainment & Music Conference-[I was the 'assistant' during some celeb interviews], I took a quick pause and then headed over to Lucky Strikes for the Keri Hilson event later that night.




Ms. Hilson came through as promised, fashionably late, but did not disappoint. She jumped in the DJ booth and went through a few of her songs, got the crowd hype, then headed off to her lane to bowl a few strikes-[pun intended]
..lol

Photobucket

Photobucket


Caviar from Vh1's For the Love of Ray J also made an appearance

Photobucket


Young Leek ('Jiggle It'-google him) was also in the building.
All I will say about him is that I had some interesting interaction [almost 'altercation'] with his ''security guard''-[read: cousin]..Lol
Photobucket

I won't even get into why he felt the need to have security....


All in all it was a great event,as most events at Lucky Strikes are-[I highly recommend their happy hour as well]

*Shout out to my folks at Lucky, that granted me VIP access to the event
It was well done.
